I need you to understand that if your library was vibe coded, there's almost no benefit to me using it, versus just generating my own copy I need you to understand that if your library was vibe coded, there's almost no benefit to me using it, versus just generating my own copy

Nearly every library submission on r/node is some LLM generated thing, with weird design and bad decisions

By definition, if it was that low effort to produce, your library has no moat, no USP. I'm getting all the disadvantages of an AI coded library, plus all the disadvantages of a vibe coder's crappy tastes and weak knowledge

Debating on ORM for Production Debating on ORM for Production

I am looking to accompany around ~1000 users daily: a lot of relational management and query calls.

I was initially looking into Prisma, but after some due diligence I've seen some things that scare me away. Prisma's approach to JOINs as well as other threads mentioning the engine sizes of 20-30mbs drive me away. There's also the weird 100,000 line generation for typescript specifically for big schemas. Obviously, it's reddit and some things are exaggerated or just wrong, but trying to get ahead of the curve.

I also considered using Drizzle ORM, but I don't know a ton about it and have seen the same type of negativity towards using it for production, which leads me to stay away from ORMs from production regardless.

I am looking for something more developer friendly, where we can backroll schema deployments if needed, preferably low-engine size. I have seen some stuff about Kysely, not sure about it. Is there anything like this, or I am wishing for too much? Would love some guidance!
